Custom Mouthguards and Night Guards
StarBrite Dental provides customized mouthguards and night guards to provide protection for patients’ teeth and jaws. By protecting a patient’s anatomy with a proper-fitting guard, StarBrite Dental can prevent them from suffering painful and expensive damage to their teeth or other structures. Some guards can reduce or eliminate snoring or sleep apnea as well.
Dr. Maryam Seifi, StarBrite Dental’s owner and senior dentist, has advanced training in designing and creating all types of mouthguards and night guards. She may make a recommendation to an athletic patient to begin wearing a mouthguard, or she may note damage to a patient’s teeth because of nighttime teeth-grinding. Or there may be signs that a patient suffers from sleep apnea or a TMJ (temporomandibular joint) disorder. Dr. Seifi can help patients suffering from these disorders.
The right night guard or mouthguard can prevent pain or breakage to a patient’s teeth or harm to their health through poor sleep or tight face and jaw muscles. The benefit depends, of course, on which problem is being addressed with a mouthguard or night guard.

Advantages of Customized Guards to Over-the-Counter Guards
Sometimes individuals who struggle with snoring or teeth-grinding turn to over-the-counter (OTC) mouthguards or night guards. Advertisements and websites featuring these guards make glowing claims about their efficacy. But no off-the-shelf snore guard will be as comfortable, effective or durable as a doctor-recommended, custom-manufactured appliance. The same is true for individuals looking for a night guard for apnea or an athletic mouth guard.
A custom night guard or mouthguard guard from StarBright Dental provides these advantages over an over-the-counter guard:
Considering the higher degree of effectiveness, safety and comfort of a custom night guard or mouthguard compared to an OTC device, one can see a custom guard is worth the investment.
